4 COALITION IN SIGHT,

| A majority for the Salisbury Government
in the critical division of this week is con-
coded on all sides in England. The Conser-
natives. our regular London correspondent

will have fifty or sixty votes TO spare but
even if they succeed in obtaining this major
ity it will be beggarly exhibition of force
for the Unionist party, which enc year ago

ment in minority The Home Rulers do not

Of proclaiming the League, although they are
confident that they can scale down It's major
ity below fifty They are satisfied with the pro-
gress which they are making and prefer TO have
the Salisbury Cabinet remain in power until
the constituencies can be convinced by an
overwhelming majority that Home Rule is both
lust and necessary. Mr.. Gladstone speech
will be the chief feature of this weeks mo-
mentous debate but it is not probable that he
either expects or desires the premature over
throw Of the Government.

by him, and including Lord Salisbury Mr..
GoSchcn, Sir Henry James and most of the
Tory Ministers, will be in the natural order OF

The formation Of such Govern

IAROR ~ MONOPOLISTS

Shrewd Mr.. Manning. at President Clcve-
lands right hand, would certainly have seen
the significance Of the Syracuse Convention
and advised a policy 10 meet the emergency.
Whether Mr. Whitney as the Presidents night
hand adviser in Ncw-YOrk affairs, has tho
shrewdncss 10 see what this convention means.
or to meet the difficulty it presents. is another
matter. Mr.. Whiiney's associations do not
bring him very close to the hard ted wage
, oarncrs. He is likely TO have more sympathy
with Standard Oil and other powerful corpora
lions than with the men who dCnounce such
corIoratons. But whether he sees il or not.
the convention means much for the future OF
Mr.. Cleveland and the Democratic party UNI
less both contrivc TO meet the objections
" hich the influential pant Of MIR. Whitney.
Mr. Garland and other such men in the Adj
mlnistration inevitably arouScs.
This convention is in effect "A revolt against
Democratic dishonesty. The party which has
pretended to be devoted 10 the interests of tho
working people takes and keeps in irs Cabinet
Mr.. Whitney, Notwithstanding mis- close asso-
Citations with monopo LIS and monopoliStS and
Mr. Garland, the receiver Of stock 10 gift.
who uses his Office 10 give a ring of Democratic
politicians chance TO make large fortunes
in the telephone business. When Democratic
vorkingmcn see these things, is it strange IT
they conclude that the party they have kept
alive so long is deliberately cheating them
for the benefit of the rich capitalists and the
glfsping spectators they dcnouncc?
Mr.. Georges theory is submitted as a
remedy, but he does not expect the laws OF
ali the States and the United States in regard
to taxation to be .revolutionizcd all at once.
The tangible and vital part Of Tie Syracuse
programme is the dcnunciatlon Of monopolics
in railroads, tclcgraphs, telephones oil, water
gas and other agencies by which the public
needs are supplied, and the demand that tho
Government shall take these works and agcn-
cics entirely into its own control. This Is
not new idea. Let any man read Progress
and Poverty" by Mr.. George Or Land and
Labor" by Mr.. Phillips, or Mr.. Hudson's
book on the railways and he will see that the
burden of the song to which woIbingmcn have
listened for years is that the people are plum
dcred of their earnings by tho appropriation
of natural agencies, and their montpolizatlon
for individuals rather than the common benefit.
The Democratic party is threatened with
powerful revolt among its followers, because
il has sought and paid for the influence OF
rich monopolsis and spectators, while pro-
Teasing to hate them and their ways with per.
feet hatred Treachery angcrs far more than
manly opposition.

rclegated to locked and barred cells and their
luxurious beds have been taken away. In
short they must submit to the regular Jail
discipline This is no more than right. There
was no reason for relaxing the rules In favor
of men such as these have been shown to be.
Under its rcorganized management the
Phenix Insurance Company will probably
easily wipe out its bad record and make a
clean score in the future. The wisdom Of
abandoning the marine department Of its
business is evident. The net loss in that de-
partmcnt in ten years is estimated at nearly
thrcc-quarters of mi lion. No insurance COM
pany can expect to flourish unless such leak
is stopped.
The meeting in Dublin TO protest against
the proclamation Of the National League Is
enthusiastically described in a special cable
dispatch from that city. There were really
three meetings, and there was, of course. no
lack of vehemence in the denunciations of the
Governments policy by the speakers. The
historic building probably never held gather

echoed to sub Ject that more closely touched
the life and heart of the Irish race.
Competition in the electric ght business is
proving a good thing for the city. One COM
pany, which last year received 20 cents
light, is now offering to furnish some lights
as low as 25 cents each. Some bids of other
companies are even lower than this, and the
highest price named is 60 cents. If the
figures contained in the bids opened yesterday
allow tho companies reasonable profit, the
city has paid 700 much for electricity hereto

The conference on the subjcc Of interstate
extradition, which began in this city yester-
day, has an important question to deal with
and should accomplish results whereby the
transfer Of criminals from one State to an
other may be facilitated. 1t Is hoped to
arrange a uniform system Of practice in this
matter. More than half OF the States are
